- Description
- Edradour's peated Ballechin expression was distilled in 2004 and matured for exactly 14 years in a Burgundy wine cask before bottling in January 2018 at cask strength from 411 bottles. The wine cask brings vinous complexity and silky texture to the peat, creating an unusual bridge between Highland smoke and Burgundian elegance. Few peated whiskies see wine cask maturation, making this a distinctive take on how non-traditional wood influences peated spirit. A curiosity for adventurous drinkers interested in how cask choice reshapes peated whisky's familiar profile.
